ISRAEL’S evacuation orders to hospitals in northern Gaza are a death sentence for the sick and injured, the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned at the weekend.
The Israeli military ordered 22 hospitals’ staff and patients in the northern half of the strip to head south as it continued to lay waste to entire neighbourhoods and its soldiers gathered at the border in what appears to be preparation for a land invasion.
